The Zoldo Circuit (Anello Zoldano) is a long-distance, hut-to-hut circular trekking route, conceived in 1985 by Paolo Bonetti and Paolo Lazzarin, who linked together a network of existing trails to create an itinerary exploring the Dolomites surrounding the Val di Zoldo.

The route remains almost entirely below 2,000 metres, reaching its highest point at Forcella delle Crepe di Moiazzetta (2,300 m). The total cumulative ascent is just under 5,000 metres. The walking times given are approximate and are based on a reasonably fit hiker carrying a normal backpack.

The complete itinerary is divided into six stages, each ending at a mountain hut. The greatest elevation gains are encountered on the first stage (Mezzodì) and the second stage (San Sebastiano), both exceeding 1,000 metres of ascent, while the third stage (Moiazza–Civetta) approaches 1,000 metres. The remaining stages involve considerably less climbing. The total length is approximately 80 km.

The trails are generally well maintained and clearly waymarked throughout, although some sections cross remote and rugged terrain. A few short stretches are equipped with fixed steel cables and require a sure foot and confidence on exposed ground. On the first, second and third stages, alternative options are available to suit both regular hikers and more experienced mountain walkers. The third stage, the most technically demanding of the circuit, can be avoided by following an alternative route (the “Agordino Variant”), which follows the western side of the Moiazza–Civetta range. Although this option involves a greater distance and more ascent, it avoids the technical difficulties of the original itinerary.

A network of trails and forest roads intersects the circuit at several points, making it possible to leave the route and descend to the nearest village within a relatively short time.

The equipment required is that normally used for mountain hiking. During the mountain hut opening season, when accommodation is available at the end of every stage, there is no need to carry excessive food supplies.

The Zoldo Circuit should not be underestimated. Completing the entire route requires a good level of physical fitness and sufficient mountain experience to cope with its considerable cumulative ascent and overall distance in an alpine environment.
